A special tour to the “Jewish Memory and Holocaust in Ukraine” Museum was organized for the high school students of the Levi Yitzchak Schneerson Jewish Lyceum No. 144, the leading educational institution of the Dnipro Jewish Community.
This tour, alongside the Memorial Ceremony held at the lyceum itself (read more here), was part of the events honoring the victims of the Nazi genocide, held on the occasion of the 84th anniversary of the beginning of the mass shootings of Jews in Dnipro in October 1941.
“This event was an important lesson in memory, humanity, and compassion – a reminder that peace and tolerance begin with an understanding of the past,” noted Tetyana Sirotkina, Deputy Director of the lyceum. “In our lyceum, as in our entire Dnipro Jewish Community, this process is given primary importance, and the importance of shaping historical memory as the foundation of modern identity has been repeatedly emphasized by the Chief Rabbi of Dnipro and the region, Shmuel Kaminezki.”
